GAS COOKING STOVE.

Application filed January 18, 1923, Serial No. 613,401, and in Great Britain January 1.8, 1922.

This invention relates to gas cooking stoves and has lfor its object to provide cooking stoves in which the heat is efliciently and effectively utilized. ('L

Accordingto the invention I provide a massive plate of metal capable of being brought into proximity to the gas iame, that the plate may be heated preparatory to the cooking' operation, the plate being adapted to be removed from the position in which it is heated to a lower position, so that thus the food to be cooked may then be disposed between the gas flame and the heated massive plate so that thus heat may be radiated on to the food from above and below and thus the cooking may be quickly and uniformly effected.

According to the invention the burner nozzles are disposed beneath a massive slab which may be provided of firebrick or other refractory substance or may be also provided as a massive metal plate and thus serve for thev accumulation of heat. By such means the cooking may be effected or may be completed after the flame has been extinguishe The invention comprises the constructional features hereinafter described.

The invention is illustrated in the accom-O panying drawings, in which- Figure 1 represents a front elevation partly in section of a gas cooking stove'provided according to the invention.

Figure 2 is a side elevation corresponding to Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a plan detail view of themassive metal plate.

Figures 4 and 5 are detail views of the spit.y

The casing d of the stove is provided of a" rectangular form and on the inner faces of the two opposite sidewalls, parallel dis-` posed sets of ledges d1 a're provided. o The uppermost serves as a means by whlch a massive firebrick slabv e is held in position beneath the top metal'plate j of the stove while the others are provided for the reception of themassive plate'- va.' .This latter is provided at its front edge with pivoted han.-

dles a4.- These are pivotally mounted in such manner that they maybe brought into a substantially vertical position necessary for the purpose of closing the front door g of the stove,.the'handles being of a convenient form for being engagedwhen it is desired to withdraw the plate from one set of/ledges d1 and/to apply it upon another. ,j The front of the casing d of the stove is provided with y an opening capable of being closed by the door g which is pivotally mounted near its lower edge as indicated and` is adapted by means of a latch g1 to be held in lits uplifted and closedposition. A knob or handle g2 serves for the purpose of moving it. In adf dition to the door g another door h is provided above th door g and this door is pivotally mounted near its upper edge and serves for the Freception of observation windows h1 of mica'or other suitable material. The lower edge ofthe door -L is rabbeted so as to be engaged by the upper edge of the handle 71.2 by means of which it `may be moved.

Beneath the slab of refractory material e a series of burner tubes i are mounted having a series of perforations il beneath ythem through. which a series of flames are directed door g and the'door l1. is provided with a Y downwardly. In a middle position a spit 7' may be provided comprising a main part,v

which consists of two parallel disposed and rigidly connected parts jl ja and a third arallel disposed part jg. The part j is adjustably mounted on the part jl and is capable of'being opened out in order that the f i joint to be cooked may be inserted and held, on the movable part jz being brought into its normal position where it is retained by means ofthe thumb screws jf. The respective ends j l*of the part jl of the/spit are concentrically disposed. The spit is removable from the casing of the stove and for this purposertwo parallel slots d2 in the oposite side walls of the stove are provided or the reception of the ends j of the spit and upon oneof these ends a pulley j may be mounted which is capable of rotation by a spring motor or by any other suitable means. The for the periodic rotation o the spit by hand so as thus to avoid lthe necessity of opening the stove for this ui'pose. Beneath the plate c another gas urner tube 2 may be pulley j ma however, servev disposed by which the plate c may be heated. An outlet for the 'waste gases may be pro,- vided inthe top plate f or in any other position.

It will be understood that the spit j may be removed when it is not desired to use it and that any number of plates a may be provided which may be preliminarily heated and then disposed on `the respective sets of ledges so as thus to cook a number of dishes, joints, or foods by the radiation ofheat from above and below in the manner described.

'Ihe top 'plate f may be adapted for cooking and the slab, e may have recesses or holes therein and corresponding holes may be provided in the plate f and lburnerrings may be provided in suitable when desired saucepans or other cooking utensils may be heated by mounting them upon the plate in position over the respective burners. Such burner `-rings may be provided beneath the overhanging edge f1 of the plate f. The massive plate a may be provided with a downwardly protruding rim a5 as illustrated in Figure 3.

In carryingthe inventioninto effect as illustrated in Figures 6 and 7, the upper part of the casing d may be provided as a ot closet k and this may be divided by a partition k1 and may be provided with slid- 111g doors k2. In position between the hot lcloset -and the ,stove boiler may be provide p In Figure 6 of the drawing the door h lis shown in its open upliftedA position and the door g` in4 its 'lower open position by which the interior of the stove is exposed as well as the massive metal plate a. In this case the plate is provided with strai ht grooves down which the juicesI may tric le on -tothe dish at the bottom of the stove.

I claim l1'. A gas cooking. stove comprising an oven, burners disposed'in said oven abovel and within the cooking space, a massive heat-retaining plate 'formed 4to extend transversely within said oven, vsupports to maintain said massive plate in proxlmity to said burners for the heating of said massive plate, and alternative supports to mainposition. so that (proper, at Z a water' tain said massive plate below the said cooking space, whereby food to be cooked may be introduced betweensaid burners and the said massive plate when the latter is disposed below the said cooking space to receive heat from vboth the said burners and the said massive plate.

2. A gas cooking stove comprising an oven burners disposed in the upper part of said oven, a massive heat-retaining plate formed to extend transversely Within said oven, grooves in the upper surface of said massive plate, perforations in said massive plate in connection with said grooves, supports to maintain such massive plate in proximity to said burners for the heating of said massive plate, .supports to maintain said massive plate at a distance below said burners, means to carry food to be cooked between said massive plate and said burners, and a receptacle to receive food juices falling upon said massive plate and passing through the perforations thereof. Y

3. A gas cooking stove comprising an oven, burners disposed in said oven above and within the cooking space, two massive heat-retaining plates, means for supporting said massive plates in opposing positions with said burners between them for the heating of said massive plates by the flames of said burners, and means to support one of said massive plates at a distance from said burners such that food to be cooked may be introduced between said massive plate and said burners so as to be subjected to heat from both of said massive platesand also from said burners.

4:. A gas cooking stove comprising an oven, burners disposedin said oven, a massive heat-retaining plate formed to extend transversely within said oven, supports to maintain said massive plate in proximity to said burners for the heating of said massive plate,.supports to maintain said massive platevat a distance from said burners, whereby food to be cooked maybe intro duced between said massive plate and said burners to receive heat from both, and a water boiler and a hot closet also heated by said burners.
